Nucleate pool boiling on horizontal tubes: a convection-based correlation.

Summary

Pool boiling on horizontal tubes leads to a bubbly flow layer around the lower periphery of the tube. Heat transfer is by enhanced liquid convection at the surface around the bubble and by rapid evaporation of a thin layer under the sliding bubble. Both these mechanisms are a function of the vapour flow rate, and a correlation was developed that applies to water, refrigerants, and organics boiling on tubes of 8-50 mm in diameter. The correlation fits well with most available data and is particularly suitable for use in equipment design calculations.
